Wands are for pretenders. Staffs for the impotent. Magic is an Art, and the only thing a real Wizard uses to create is his mind. The Awens are a family of true Wizards with a reputation for greatness stretching back millennia.

Unfortunately for him, Marcus Awen is only a Magician. Denied his heritage as a Wizard, he joins the Guard, a group of elite fighters who use their Magicians' magic to kill rogue Wizards.

Marcus is forced to reconsider his recent decisions and lifelong assumptions, when he gets sent to look into rumors of magical abuse in an Independent Zone, one of the few places on Earth where scientific development was not restricted when magic became readily accessible early in the 21st century.

This book is only 30,000 words long.

5,0 su 5 stelle Extremely refreshing and worth it.
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 9 agosto 2012

I bought both of his novellas a while back. After rereading both for about the fifth time, I decided it needed a review. I have never found any books inspiring me to review them but both of these have. I hope that by reviewing them some others can enjoy it as much as I have. I **really** hope he continues to write.
Both novellas are very short, depending on how much you read vs. skim these books can take anywhere from a few hours to a few "night time" reading sessions.
I can honestly say these are the only books I have completely read. What I mean is so many sci fi/ fantasy books are stuffed full of fluff ear to ear and you end up skipping most of it. I read every single word of both of these and find it very refreshing to do so. His characters are great as is the world he has created. Without going into deep detail about the history of the world or its state, he nonetheless provides everything you need to understand the books. At a price of .99 cents it's totally worth it and then some. Don't buy two bags of chips or a soda or something and then you've justified reading books that will stimulate your brain **significantly** beyond most (I need to stress that again, they are very stimulating due to the syntax/diction choices of the author). I have recommended these books to a lot of people.
Totally worth it. It's only .99 cents and one of my favorite reads out of the hundreds books that I've read.

I enjoyed reading this and the author's other book, A Wizard's Role. I will certainly keep an eye out for his next.

4,0 su 5 stelle Meet Marcus and his side of the story....
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 12 settembre 2013

In A Wizard's Role, we meet the Awens. There is Jason, the father, leader, etc. Then, there is his son Joshua who has an ego no matter that he can back it up with talent, he hasn't earned the experience quite yet to go with it. Next, there is Marcus, Jason's brother. Marcus is a significant part of the Guard, which is an organization of very talented Magicians who hunt and kill rogue wizards. The Awens are very powerful Wizards, with the exception of Marcus who is just a Magician.

A Magician's Purpose gives a deeper look into Marcus' side of things as well as the make up of the family. I was very happy to see this, as I was intrigued in the first book of Marcus' character. We follow Marcus and other points of view to see how he tracks down the person summoning these demons that kill people and his brother, Kyle, who is dispatching them. I won't spoil the plot, but I was saddened and happy with Marcus' resolution to the problem.

There was definite improvement for the plot in this book. Not only do we get to see the politics side that was hinted at the first one, but the ending brings about intrigue as to the future of the characters. There is some editing that could stand to be done as I saw some grammatical and repeated words occasionally. This interrupts the reader's experience, but they're not all over the place I have seen in other works. Definitely looking forward to A Mage's Play.

I'm not very good at book reviews. I apologize for not being able to dissect the story properly but I can say that I enjoyed this novella immensely. The Urban or Modern Fantasy genre is pretty full right now, as is it's cousin the Paranormal Romances. So while many authors are good, it's nice to come across something fresh. Shareef's take on the mechanics of magic is pretty cool. And I like the characters he's created. I took a chance when I saw this for .99 for the kindle. After having read both this and A Wizard's Role in quick succession, I would have been willing to pay at least a couple bucks more.

I believe these are Shareef's first publishings and it kind of comes across that way. Meaning: You can tell he's an aspiring author. But that's okay. I see a good idea with lots of potential. The novellas made me want to know more about this universe and the characters in it. I think he is working on a full novel which will hopefully become available soon.

I can't wait to see what's next!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 31 gennaio 2012

This is a really unique magic system set in a slightly future world. The innovativeness of the setting makes it worth the price for fantasy fans.

Pros:
Detailed, interesting magic system
Somewhat gritty, well realized modern world

Cons:
Mary Sue main character
Frequent comma splices
Short
